A brave rape survivor has spoken of her disgust after a sex beast who targeted a 13-year-old girl was spared a jail sentence due to his young age.

Roni Smith, who was attacked when she was just 16, is calling for mandatory jail time for people convicted of serious sexual assault following the shocking case of Sean Hogg.The 21-year-old, from Hamilton, was 17 when he pounced on and raped his young victim at Dalkeith Country Park, Midlothian, in 2018.

Despite being found guilty, Hogg was allowed to walk free from Glasgow High Court after being ordered to perform 270 hours of unpaid work earlier this month.

He was placed under supervision and added to the Sex Offenders Register for three years. Roni, from Kirkcaldy, Fife, has now branded Hogg’s sentence “disgusting” and said rapists should be punished properly regardless of their age at the time of the offence.Her own attacker was 18 when he raped Roni.
